Notice: this part has been discontinued please use one of our other serial to Ethernet converters
This is a BASIC-like programmable single port serial RS232 to Ethernet converter from Tibbo. It is an advanced high quality converter which is suitable for most applications and environments.
Since this serial to Ethernet converter is programmable by using an easy to learn BASIC-like programming language it is ideal if you want to be able to define and configure advanced parameters of the
converter such as configuring I/O parameters, accessing memory, Ethernet/socket control and much more.
Please refer to Supported Objects for the full list of platform objects. Included is also a variety of free Libraries.
The BASIC-like programming language is referred to as Tibbo-BASIC which is a new and improved incarnation of standard BASIC. A free programming environment called Tibbo IDE 3 is included with this converter.
Included is not only a free ready to use Virtual COM port software which will let you connect your serial device to your computer over Ethernet without any major programming required, but freely available is also a serial over IP application with source code which will allow you to actually modify it to suit your needs.
Besides the serial over IP application available is also a large selection of fully functional programming examples.
This converter can be mounted on a standard DIN rail or by using included wall mounting plate.
As you can imagine, this serial to Ethernet converter offers a huge amount of features and programmable possibilities, however in a package which is easy to learn and understand.
